The person is cursing and is a conjurer

Chapter 35 Snake Shadow ([-]).

October in Kyoto is the day when camellias are in full bloom. When a gust of wind blows, the camellias begin to stretch out their pink coat, and their faint floral fragrance permeates the air.

Listening to the questions behind him, Taniguchi Kaito trembled with goosebumps all over his body. The terrifying cold air lingering around him made him dare not make any resistance.

He remained silent and did not make any answer.

On the other side, Aida Zhen and Amano Roma were still deadlocked in place, with dark blue lightning and bright yellow solid stones constantly colliding and impacting along their arms.

The roar of thunder and the rolling of stones echoed in the air.

The next moment, a trace of ferocity flashed in their eyes at the same time, and lightning and rocks exploded!

White ripples of wind stirred in the calm air.

The figures of Aida Makoto and Amano Ryoma stepped back at the same time. Looking carefully, Aida Makoto took two steps back, while Amano Ryoma took three steps back. It was obvious that the person who had the upper hand in the attack this time was Aida Makoto.

But Aida Makoto, who had the upper hand, did not taunt Amano Ryoma at this time, but turned his attention to Taniguchi Kaito, who was silent and took no action.

Seeing Shigure Asa holding Taniguchi Kaito's shoulders, Aida's eyes narrowed. The bright yellow solid stone in his hand emerged again, and the bright yellow stone armor stretched and wrapped around half of his body.

Kaito Taniguchi raised his head and warned Aida Makoto with his gloomy eyes, "Don't come here, you will die!"

But it seemed that Aida Makoto might have misunderstood what Kaito Taniguchi meant.

After seeing Kaito Taniguchi's eyes, he murmured: "Is Kaito asking me for help?"

Aida Zhen no longer hesitated and quickly rushed towards Shigure Qian.

Surprise, surprise.

Kaito Taniguchi felt unspeakable pain in his heart. I told you not to come over, why did you rush over?It's over. This guy behind me won't kill me, right?
Suddenly Shigure Qian leaned into Taniguchi Kaito's ear and said, "Stop his attack, or you will die."

The word "death" was emphasized emphatically by Shiguqian.

The next second, Kaito Taniguchi felt that the suffocating cold feeling behind him began to dissipate, and the spell power could work again.

Without any hesitation, he took the spell in Shi Yuqian's hand and poured the power of the spell into it.

A dim black light glowed on the yellow talisman.

"Fan Gang!"

A tiny yellow fox appeared out of thin air. When the thick stone-armored fist was swung at Shigure Qian, the yellow fox exposed its black claws and directly met the fist.

The stone fist collided with the fox's claws, and tiny sparks flew out.

This little Iizuna blocked Aida's attack with ease.

Taking advantage of the free time in the battle, Kaito Taniguchi quickly distanced himself from Shigure Asa, and at the same time stopped the reckless Aida Makoto with one hand.

Iizuna jumped on Taniguchi Kaito's shoulders, letting out bursts of devilish laughter while showing off his muscles.

"Chi-chi. Chi-chi!"

Aida was really confused when he was stopped by Kaito Taniguchi: "Kaito, why did you stop me? I was saving you just now?"

"Save me?" Taniguchi Kaito complained, "I was almost killed by you."

"Huh? Wasn't that look in your eyes just now asking me for help?"

"I told you not to come over, idiot." Kaito Taniguchi felt a headache.

We've been on missions together for two years, but this guy still doesn't understand his intentions. What an idiot.

Aida Zhen scratched his head, "Is that so?"

"However," Aida Zhen's voice changed, "Why do you want to stop me? This guy doesn't look very strong. He is as skinny as a monkey. If you hadn't stopped me with Iizuna just now, I would have stopped me. The fist knocked him away."

Taniguchi Kaito was stunned.

ha?Aida Makoto, are you mistaken? Not very strong?Are you kidding me? If it hadn't been for me, the two of us would have been lying on the ground.

Taniguchi Kaito stretched out his hand and said leisurely: "Now, I won't stop you anymore, just go ahead. It's best to knock him to the ground, otherwise don't blame me for looking down on you."

"Oh." Aida Zhen agreed and walked forward.

Taniguchi Kaito's eyes widened. Hey, I'm just kidding. Are you serious?
In the end, he pulled Aida Zhen off and said bravely: "We have to wait until next time to fight. Now the tourists have gathered around. Although they can't see the spell, it's better not to cause trouble."

"If we make too much noise, we will also be punished."

Aida Zhen inspected the surroundings for a while, and after noticing many tourists stopping there, he hesitated and retreated.

There were shouting voices all around: "Were those strange sounds just now coming from them? The strong wind, electric current and the sound of rolling stones blown out of thin air are really magical. How did they do it?"

"They should be street performers or magicians. It's not surprising that they have some sophisticated equipment these days."

After a while, after noticing that they didn't make any movement, the crowd dispersed again.

After Taniguchi Kaito watched the crowd begin to disperse, he cleared his throat and asked, "Who are you? I have never heard that there is a person like you in the Tokyo Metropolitan College of Magic."

Shiguqian pointed at herself, "Are you talking about me? Oh, my name is Shiguqian."

"Shigure Asa?" Taniguchi Kaito frowned slightly, "I've never heard that besides Gojo Satoru and Natsu Youjie from the Tokyo Metropolitan Conjuring High School, there is such a powerful conjuring master?"

"Why have we never heard of his incident?"

"The freezing and oppressive feeling just now was really scary. Can even the magic power be used to freeze it? This guy's technique."

Although Kaito Taniguchi was shocked in his heart, he still did a good job on the surface. He smiled and began to introduce himself: "My name is Kaito Taniguchi, and like Shin Aida, I am a second-year student at Kyoto Prefecture's Conjuring High School. .”

"First time meeting you. Nice to meet you."

"We are very sorry for what happened just now. If necessary," Kaito Taniguchi patted Aida Makoto, "apologise."

Aida was really confused for a moment, and then he stared at Kaito Taniguchi's expression. After confirming it repeatedly, he awkwardly walked to Akihara Rin: "I'm sorry."

Aida Zhen’s heart: Huh?Kaito, what are you doing?This is completely different from what we said before, okay. I obviously said before that I would give them a blow and let them retreat. What do you want me to apologize for now?I really can’t understand the thinking of you smart people.

"Is it enough to just apologize lightly like this?" Amano asked unceremoniously.

Aida Shinya's face immediately changed, "What else do you want? Don't be shameless. I have tolerated you for a long time."

"Ha." Amano laughed disdainfully, blue-white thunder and lightning burst out, and winding blue-white snakes wrapped around both sides of his hands. It looked like he was about to take action again.Shinya Aida walked forward without hesitation, and the two of them were facing each other.

"That's enough!" Kaito Taniguchi stopped Aida Makoto again, looked back at Shigure Asa who was standing in the narration, and he explained: "It is indeed wrong for us to take action. I apologize to you for the offense."

"But," Kaito Taniguchi changed his voice, "We have no choice but to do this. If we don't understand your identity, we will let you participate in this mission."

Taniguchi Kaito raised his head and his eyes narrowed slightly: "A second- or third-rate conjurer will only die in this mission."

"What do you mean?"

"Literally, this mission is very dangerous. If you are too weak, you will die!"

"You mean we are second- and third-rate conjurers, so we are not worthy of participating in this mission?" Amano Ryoma's expression was unkind, and the wrinkled scar on his forehead revealed his ferocity, "Are you very powerful?"

Aida Zhen: "Yes, that's what it means."

"Can you say that again."

"What? Are you not convinced?"

"Good room."

"Makoto Aida."

Shigure Qian and Taniguchi Kaito stopped them.

A black business car drove Shigure Qian and his party to the "Yuzuya Hotel". After the three of them settled down, Taniguchi Kaito and Aida Makoto talked about the mission in the room.

"Due to the mission, we can't take you to the Kyoto Prefectural College of Magic right now. Of course, after the mission is completed, if you are still interested, I will personally take you to visit my school." Kaito Taniguchi leaned against the window and smiled. said.

Amano interrupted him with a cold face: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is willing to go to your school? Let's quickly tell you what the mission we are not worthy of performing is?"

Kaito Taniguchi stopped smiling and looked at the three people in front of him seriously. When he was at the station, he realized that he had underestimated this group of people from the Tokyo Metropolitan Conjuring High School.

So on the way to the hotel in the business car, he opened the message sent to him by the school's senior management and checked their information.

"Shigure Qian, a first-year student at the Tokyo Metropolitan Conjuring High School, a first-level conjurer, technique: ice drill technique, a first-year freshman. When he entered school, he fought with the Gojo family's Rokugan, tied, and dealt with many A first-level curse event, powerful."

"Amano Ryoma, second year of the Tokyo Metropolitan Conjuring College, second-level conjurer, technique: Thunder Blaze."

"Akihara Lin, a second-year student at the Tokyo Metropolitan Conjuring College, a quasi-second-level conjurer, technique: Silent Distance."

Kaito Taniguchi nodded, as if confirming the strength of the three of them, and then he took out an exquisite beech wood box from a corner of the room and placed it on the bed.

"Let's see what's inside." As he spoke, Taniguchi Kaito opened the box.

Money, the box is full of money, with a face value of [-] yen piled in it like a small stack.

Amano frowned, "What do you mean, you're ready to bribe us before we even start the mission?"

"No, this was not prepared by us, but left by the murderer."

"Left by the murderer?" Amano asked.

Shigu Qian also spoke at this time: "You want to say that our mission this time is not to exorcise the cursed spirits, but to be the curse master."

Kaito Taniguchi said with certainty: "That's right, our target this time is not the curse, but the curse master."

"What we are facing is not a cursed spirit, but a human being."

"Moreover," Taniguchi Kaito's eyes narrowed slightly, "the curse master this time is very strong. Two of our second-level curse masters have died in his hands."

"Because the two schools are jointly performing the mission, we thought it would be Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie who came. When we found out that it was not them, we originally wanted to give you a warning and ask you to retreat and replace them. ,did not expect"

Kaito Taniguchi turned his attention to Shigure Qian and said: "Since a first-level magician with good strength has also arrived, it doesn't matter whether it is Gojo Satoru or Xia Youjie."

After a brief silence, Shiguqian said, "Tell us about this mission in detail."

"At the end of January this year, a girl disappeared in Kyoto City. After the investigation failed, the police determined the matter to be an ordinary disappearance."

"But things soon started to go wrong, and even gradually began to get out of people's control. From February to the end of February, five girls were lost in a row, and more and more girls were lost in March and April. All The missing persons are all girls over three years old and under twenty.”

"There was no body and no whereabouts. It was like he disappeared out of thin air."

"Later, Window discovered the remnants of the curse near the missing girl. The academy took over the matter and sent a second-level conjurer to investigate the matter."

"After two months of investigation, the conjurer found nothing, and the number of missing girls kept increasing, so the academy once again sent a second-level conjurer and urged them to investigate the murderer as soon as possible. .”

"After two conjurers investigated day and night, they finally got some clues. On the third day after each girl disappeared, the girl's parents would receive such a beech box filled with money at home."

"It's implicitly regarded as money to buy the girl's life."

"Moreover, the night before the girl disappeared, every family heard the neighing of snakes or black scaly snakes appeared in the house at night."

"Follow these scraps of information."

"At the end of August this year, the two curse masters accidentally succeeded in crouching against the curse master, but unfortunately," Taniguchi Kaito's face darkened, "they were both dead."

"The bodies of the two second-level conjurers are gone."

"The last information we got from them was women and countless snakes."

Several people in the room suddenly fell silent.

"Woman? Snake?" Amano asked with a frown.

"Yes, this is the message they conveyed before they died. We speculate that the curse master this time is a woman, and the technique is to use the curse spirit to control the black-scaled snake."

"Since September, we began to search for information around the "Black Scaled Snake" "girl", and until today, we finally locked in on the next girl who may be missing."

"Everyone, get ready, we are going to take action tonight."

"I hope we can catch the curse master today and find the missing girls." Kaito Taniguchi sighed, "There is really not much hope for the girls to survive."

Shigure Qian asked in a deep voice: "How many girls have disappeared so far?"

After thinking for a moment, Kaito Taniguchi gave the answer: "98 in total."
